AN GAOITHE RUA (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Drish River (28.10) in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from eight starts. One of the contenders. ZESTY KIWI (1) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, in an A4 at this track over 450m (28.05). Should enjoy this easier assignment. BARNFIELD CHIEF (6) jumps from trap 6 again after placing (28.67) last time at this track over 450m. Harder here but expected to feature again. KILWEST JOSS (5) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.
